Our Vision
Forest & Tree envisions a future where all kids in Oakland have equitable access to nearby safe parks, healthy and affordable foods, and outdoor places to learn and grow.
Our Mission
Forest & Tree provides young people in grades Tk-12 and their families with outdoor learning experiences away from the four walls of a traditional classroom in order to develop a stronger sense of self, community and connection with the natural world.
All kids have the right to a healthy childhood.
